Thats good to know if I can ever get to the salt.
Have not seen anyone try bright green way up the fresh. I'll have to put it on my list, though I rarely hook anything with lime green pixies.
Coho are angry when they are in the salt. I don't even throw spinners or spoons if I am fishing from shore. I use a Mister Twister sassy shad on a jig head, they smash it. Had to shop around for jig heads that were tough enough to endure more than a fish or two. Most of them are too weak and get annhilated.
I used big streamers, pink or bright green. Strip it in fast jerks while letting it sink in between and hold on.
Same, I'd always put something for some flash in them.
We just call them pixie flies.
Yep that helps a lot too. Sometimes I would use flies with either a weighted head or a weighted body to help it sink a little faster. The weighted head helped give it a pretty good action on the retrieve.
